It would be interesting if one could determine the chain of owners from when it sold in the NGC holder in April 2014 to when you obtained it (I...
I think I remember stumbling across a thread about the 1854 huge O quarter on another coin website. If I recall correctly, the general consensus...
Both are very nice... I’m not sure which I like better. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of my personal favorites: [ATTACH]
I’m currently pursuing a degree in corrosion engineering. At one point I thought I may be able to understand how toning occurs, but then I started...
I think my top three favorites are the 1842-D $5, the peacock token, and the square 1/8 thaler. Not that the other ones aren’t also nice!
I did notice that 1824/2 JR-2. Very scarce die marriage.
For me it’s capped bust dimes. I still keep an eye out for suitable capped bust quarters too. I think I may be sliding down the slippery slope of...
It most likely has been dipped or improperly cleaned at some point in the past 160+ years, but it doesn’t look too bad. I wouldn’t be surprised to...
For what it’s worth, here’s a link to another 5-E (with the same die clash under “WE” in IGWT) that’s graded MS66. Both the eBay coin and this one...
I’m having trouble seeing anything that jumps out as “fake” also. I guess the obverse appears a bit weak, but that could be a result of less than...
I hate to say it but I’m uninspired. The idea could have potential but I’m pretty confident that the coins won’t fail to disappoint. I wish that...
I definitely recommend checking out the coin collecting community on Instagram. People post all sorts of different types of coins, ranging from...
I don’t know what I’d do if I dug up one of those. That would be a remarkable experience. I believe that a farmer found an 1802 half dime in a...
Another thing worth considering is that clad coins and silver coins probably wear differently. I’m inclined to believe that a silver-copper alloy...
For what it’s worth, I think it appears to be the N-2 die marriage. So that’s a decent sign....
I’ve subscribed to Coins magazine since 2007 and I too have noticed the amount of content has gradually decreased. This year they put in non...
That one was a classic. Another one I liked is the guy who posted “blueprints” of the new office for his “highly respected” coin firm that looked...
My tentative general 2018 wish list: -some more Capped Bust Quarters, because you can never have too many -some capped bust dimes, and maybe a...
BUT.... Does it come with a red oak presentation box?
Separate names with a comma.
